My mother always asserted that "every woman needs a pair of red shoes!!" One pair of mine disintegrated but I still have my wonderful red cowboy boots from Santa Fe, NM in fine shape. You remind me to go out and find another pair of red dress shoes. Think I'll splurge and get some red sneakers too, but not the same style as the ones in your post. Many thanks for the kind words you recently left on my posts. The story you related of your father has made me so sad! He must have been a truly marvelous man. . . a great loss for you but you must also have some great family memories.

After six years in Australia and five years of city life in Avignon I moved to the countryside near the small village of Beaumes-de-Venise. Once dedicated to street photography my blog has since taken a more rural note but the beautiful region of Provence is an constant source of inspiration.
